Moving my Orbi and modem to a different room.

I want to move my modem and my Orbi RBR 850 from one room to another within our house. The single satellite will stay where it is for now.

Is this a simple process of disconnecting from one room and reconnecting in another? Or will I have to go through the entire setup process again?  TIA.

    IF the ISP service or modem hasn't change or your not changing anything else on the RBR, then just power OFF the RBR, connect it at it's new location with the modem and power ON The modem first then RBR. Should be good after that.
